UEFA is seeking to remove a judge who has presided over legal action brought against it by the European Super League rebels, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus.
In an extraordinary move, the European football governing body has claimed there have been 'irregularities' in how the case has been handled.
And the body now wants the judge to 'stand aside'. If successful, the move could eventually lead to disciplinary action restarting against the rebel clubs after it was abandoned on Monday night.
Real Madrid won the Champions League in 2018 but UEFA's action could have led to a ban
